"was Lingg Murderedqr

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-A sensation
was caused at the inquest on the
body of Louis Lingg in the coroner's
office this morning by the produc-
ton of letters by three of the jurors,
The letters had been written by
the same man, and told the jurors
to watch what certain men said as
there was asuspicion that all was
not right about the suicide.
"Lingg's father was noble
man, said Cook county Jail official
yesterday. ellis mother came
from the humber classes. Her
parents were dependents, and lived
on the estate of this nobleman's
father. The girl was comely and
an intimacy sprang up between her
and the son of the old nobleman.
1t was the old, old story. The man
who ended his life in such ter
rible manner here last Thursday
was not born in wedlock. We
know that; Captain Chaack knows
it, and we know further that Lingg
hated his father with a ferocity
that was something terrible. He
hated the class to which his father
belonged--he hated and despised
the ruling class. He hated the
rich"

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Chances Good for an Outlet from
South Missouri to Chicago,
Via Mexico.

There is a prospect of a new
railroad being built from South
Missouri through Mexico and MAX
ing connection with some road from
Chicago. A number of gentlemen
of wide experience in railway mat
ters are much interested in the
scheme. Three of them, E. F.
House and Joseph Lathrop, of Chi
cago, and Charles D. Long, of Flint
Rock, Michigan, were in the city
the other day, and drove from here
to Hannibal. They made inquiry
along the route as to how the pro-
ject would be received and the old
grade was examined. As the
LEDGER has often stated, a road
from Springfield would be of much
good to South Missouri as a direct
outlet to Chicago is badly needed.
The Hannibal Journal, in this con-
nection. says:
Although not definitely known,
it is believed that the road is to
built in the interest of the c., B. &
c., and it is surmised that the road
when built to Springfield, will be
extended to Texas, as the 80" is
very anxious to get a direct line
from that part of the country to
Chicago.

DAISY rs SAFE.
Mrs. Shows Little Daughter Not
Kidnapped, as Reported
Yesterday.

The Jefferson City Tribune Of
Thursday explains the supposed
kidnapping of little Daisy Show,
of this city, as follows:
The series of mistakes which led
to the sensational stories which got
af1oat Tuesday evening were very
natural indeed. DR.. Thorpe was
assured by Mrs. Elston that none
of the girls relatives at Elston sta
ton knew when she would arrive
here, and it transpires that Mr..
Elias Elston was equally as sure
that DR.. Elston's family knew
nothing of her coming, and it was
the most natural thing in the world
for him to take charge Of her and
drive quietly out Of town without
appraising any one of his relatives
of his presence in the city. DR..
Thorpe, having Mrs. Elston's
assurance that Mr.. Elias Elston was
not in town, Convinced him that
something was wrong, and led to
the search being instituted.
Mrs. Show was almost wild last
evening before she heard that her
child was safe. She telegraphed
to Jefferson City and soon got an
answer saying that everything was
all right. She was much relieved
upon receiving that information,
and fell to work agiving it" to the
newspapers for publishing the story
as known at the time.

SCOTT scoTcHHD.
A Negro Man Done Up by Masked
Men-His Stepdaughter Acci-
dentally Shot-Accused of
Being Incendiaries.

Five or six masked men went to
the residence of Harrison Scott,
who lives on the Householder
farm, about five miles north of
Mexico, Wednesday, intending to
take Scott out and give him horse
whipping. as he and his family, it
is reported, have been suspected
of starting the fires which have
been SO destructivejust north of this
city. They came to his house
about 9 a. M, and as he is very
stout man quite a scuffle took place,
in which he was rather used up, al
though he was not taken out and
whipped. To-day he is in bed and
says he knows who the parties are
and will have them arrested.
During the promiscuous row
in the house the negro's
gun went off, but did not in
jure anyone. A pistol went off, it
lis thought accidentally, andmade
a flesh wound on one of Scott's step
daughters. The ball went through
the fieshy part of her side, but will
not prove serious. The furniture
in the house and Scott's gun are
broken up, and he is not feeling
we'll, although we do not think any
of his injuries are serious. We do
not know what reason the parties
who were in the crowd had for
thinking Scott and his girls had
been doing the devilment referred
to, but this, we learn, is the cause
of the trouble. What Scott will
do about the matter we do not
know, except that he says he
knows the men and will have them
all arrested.

THE wife of Parsons, one of the
anarchists, of whom SO much has
been written, is negro. He had
married her in Texas. It does not
follow that Parsons was hanged be-
cause he had married a. negro. But
one need not expect better things of
white man who deliberately and
knowingly unites himself in such
relations. 1t means that the white
man has become so far. demoral-
lied as to entirely disregard public
opinion and custom, to lose all
self-respect, and to be ready to do
anything and everything that pas
sion may call him to, unless check
ed by cowardice. When a white
man, with fair intelligence, as Par
sons seems to have been, becomes
SO rottenly and deeply dispossessed
ofmoral ideas, it is only a short
step to murder, rapine, robbery or
butchery. Pearson took his wife
to Chicago and tried to introduce
her into decent society Because
he failed he determined to destroy
that society, and hence his work at
anarchy, and his final execution.

H1s HEAD BRUISED
And Badly swelled, But That il
About the Extent Of SCOTS
Injuries.

A reporter for the LEDGER drove
to the home Of Harrison Scott, col
ored, north of Mexico, Friday.
Scott was the victim of a mob
which visited his place Wednesday
night, an account Of the trouble
having appeared in this paper yes
terday. Scott's cabin is situated in
the center Of a field, half q mile or
more to road, and is cheerless
appearing habitation. The log
house is divided into two rooms,
one used as sleeping and sitting
room and the other as a kitchen
and wash-room. When the report
er climbed the fence surrounding
the cabin, Scott's dog set up q
howl, which brought a female
member Of the family to the door.
The dog was told to 'sgit OUT and
as the animal unwillingly skunk off
the reporter was ushered into the
room where the mob first attacked
Scott. At the right of the door,
the injured colored man lay
on a very dirty and bloody bed,
with his nuch-swelled head tied
up in a rag. Directly across the
room, facing the door, the daugh-
ter who was shot, was also in bed.
The girl was propped up with pill
lows, and both she and Scott pre-.
sented very woe-begone appear
ance. Seott's wife and another
daughter were ,also in the room.
The darkey seemed willing to tell
all he knew of the trouble. He
thought there were seven in the
mob, he was sure there were as
many as five. He was certain oi
the identity of two, and perhaps
three, of the party, and said as soon
as he was able to leave the house
would make his complaints. He
denies having expected an assault,
and says the attack was a complete
surprise, as he did not even have
time to bring his gun into use afte,
the door was burst in. The ras
carpet on the floor was dyed ir
blood, and one of the women lifted
it and showed the reporter the
floor also saturated. Scott was
badly beaten and claims to have
been shot in the nose. He, as vel
as the girl will be all right in {
short time. The dishes in tht
kitchen were all broken and th,
stove thrown down. Scott's CUR
was badly smashed. He claims
that seven shots were fired during
the scuffie. Scott protests his in
nocence of incendiarism, but he il
not liked by some of the neighbors,
who consider him very loud
mouthed and officious.

"Accept if offered"

'T will accept, if offered, the
Governors chair" is the meaning
of Judge Norton's letter. Like the
Springfield Leader, Mexico LEDGER
and a multitude of other Demo-
cratic newspapers we might quote,
we think if Judge Norton wants to
be Governor of Missouri he must
fight for the honor. The time is no
more when a man, no matter how
distinguished, can get an office in
Missouri by saying, "I will accept,
if offered" Ifit is worth having it
is worth the asking. If those who
seek the highest place in the gift of
the people of the State deem it un-
worthy the asking, then let the
people give the honor to some OF
those who are not above asking for
it. But, then, Judge Norton has
held position at the hands Of the
people for 50 many years he, per
haps, dislikes to ask for further
honors.

Letters mailed on Trains.

Postal clerks have orders to can
eel no stamps upon letters mailed
aboard trains. Letters dropped
into the postal car with stamps un-
cancelled are now carried to the
next town and put off. The order
was made for the protection of post
whose salaries depend upon
the cancellations. Henceforth it
will be a gain of time to deposit
letters at the post-office.
The above item was printed in
the LEDGER some days ago and has
been the subject of considerable
comment. Postal Clerk Jamison,
of the Branch, says he has received
no orders to this effect, but it is un-
derstood that the rule is in effect on
the main lines, though great many
letters are still mailed on trains.

Dogs Not Allowed on Passenger

Conductor Keyes Of the Jefferson
City G. IA. Branch is very fond Of
ladies, and would almost stand on
his head to accommodate one of the
fair sex who might ride on his train.
His train had just LEFT Mexico yes
terday evening, and Keyes was
making his first round, when he
observed small white dog with q
bushy tail and bright black eyes,
sitting closely on the seat beside q
young lady going to Fulton SO
handsome that it made his heart
roll over. But duty was duty, and
he remarked in his most deprecato-
ry manner:
! am very sorry, but it's against

and she showed a half notion to cry
that nearly broke the conductors Is
heart; but he was firm and sang
out to Sam Stasey, the peanut boy:
/ "Here, Sam, take this dog over
into the baggage car, and tell Mr.,
Brooks to take the best kind of care
of him."
The young lady pouted, but Sam
reached over and picked the canine
up as though it was a two weeks

he said hastily to Keyes:

DEATH IN THE WIRE.
Danger to F1remen - Exceeding
Caution Necessary in Ger
tain Cases.

"There is death in the electric
wire, " said a prominent electrician
to. q Philadelphia Nems reporter
one day last week, and as there is q
suggestion for our Mexico fremen
in his advice we append it. "The
worst Of it.is,'' continued the elee-
trician, the public should be
aware oft. No one will deny that
the electric light wires which run
along certain streets are each charg-
ed with -electricity sufficient in
strength to kill dozens of men.
"The only safeguard is the thin
insulating covering on the wires.
In hundreds of places the heavily
charged elongated death traps run
within easy reach of the people in
their houses and stores. Children
can lean out Of second story win
dows and touch them in many
places, as can do thousands of
workingmen and girls in mills and
workshops.
"There are several ways which
the current might be turned from
the wire sufficiently to cause death.
They may talk as they please about
perfect and lasting insulation, but
every electrician knows that. ex-
posure to the weather, the swaying
ofwires against trees and the drag
ging of telegraph and telephone
wires across the coating of the cleo
tric light wires is bound to injure
and finally wear it away. The
wires have been up long enough to
render the insulation rotten, and il
is getting worse every day. That
is why l say the danger is increas-
ing.
"Should wire become detached
from a pole and left to swing near
the street, as has been the case sew
eral times, and should man chance
to touch the wire at point where
the insulation was imperfect, he
would be killed instantly. Should
man press the point of a penknife
through the covering as could east
ly be done, the chances are ten to
one that he would end his life al
that instant; or, should one of the
many people at second-story win
dows touch wire where the insu-
lation was bad, the same fatal re.
suit will follow.
"In case of fire the danger il
very great to fremen. Cutting and
dragging telephone wires down FIRE.
quently wears off the insulation
Now, suppose a fireman standing
on the wet ground and holding q
nozzle of a pipe against a charged
electric light wire at a point where
the insulation was imperfect. The
connection to the ground through
the stream of water to the fireman
would be almost perfect and death
would surely follow. These are q
few of the dangers.

SOME interesting facts touching
Prohibition in Maine can be found
in late New York World. They
have strengthened the law up there
so that glass ofsweet cider, fresh
from the press, if sold or given
away, may embroil farmer in five
tussles with a grand jury and may
cost him a fine of $3.50 and five
months servitude in Jail. When
Neal Dow gets the Maine law
braced up so that the fermentation
of barrel of swill in his State will
be something in the nature of a
felony, he will probably be happy.
